These, along with other stories such as the Jenin fabrication and the Big Oil Lie, are the modern Western versions of the Blood Libel or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

These are stories told to incite hatred of Americans and Jews. To transfer blame from the murderers, to those who fight murder. To incite violence. To incite more murder.

Repeating them is vile. Believing them incomprehensible.

People are forgetting about the Jenin lie; I saw it mentioned as "alleged crimes" or something like that, but the author of the story neglected to mention that they were flat out lies.
*Ledi*, I'm pretty sure what your friend's mom said isn't true. It might be a rumour floating around that a lot of people have latched on to. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

If someone is critical of the US policies, or Israeli polices or the policies of The Bahamas then they should feel free to express those within the rules of FF.</STRONG>
A benign comment about Jews? Benign? What is "benign" about saying that Jews stayed home on 9/11 because they knew the attack would happen? It's a hateful and malevolent thing to say. (Clarification -- Im not saying that *Ledi* said that; I'm saying that when people do say it, it's a horrible, malicious, destructive thing to say.)
